Gallery Gabrichidze is proud to announce its quest for the acquisition by a Belgian institution of what is probably the most acclaimed piece of bronze to have ever been inspired by a Belgian citizen. Marie Van Goethem never made it through history as a ballet dancer at the Opéra de Paris, but will be remembered as “The little fourteen year old dancer” for ages to come.
The lesser known first version of this Edgar Degas sculpture has been relatively recently revealed to the public.
Thanks to Degas authority and author Dr. Gregory Hedberg, there is documented evidence that when Degas’ wax statue was first shown in 1881, it looked quite different than it does today, and several Degas scholars have previously suggested that Degas reworked The Little Dancer after 1903. However, until this plaster was recognized as recording the first version of Degas’ statue, there was no evidence what Degas’ first version looked like. The plaster—called the Valsuani plaster, after the Valsuani foundry in Paris where it lived from 1955 until 2006—is now in a private collection in the United States and will eventually be donated to a museum. What the gallery will present is the Valsuani bronze cast, only public representation of the Master's wax model now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
After having considered the public fascination over the more widely spread second version of the little dancer – the Hébrard version- and its sky high market value, we believe that the world will be grateful to meet the first edition of this timeless classic of European culture.
